I am a wimp!!! My husband and I, along with another couple, went to Ocean City area to ride in the Seagull Century. We had trained all summer and had completed a metric century as well as a half century. Just our luck, an October Noreaster hit the Maryland coast Thursday through Saturday. When we arrrived at our hotel Friday night, gust of 60 mph were evident, it was raining as well. The coastal area had received 4 inches of rain on Friday with additional rain expected on Saturday. The National Weather Center had issued wind advisories, more rain, coastal flooding, cool temperatures: low to mid 50's. It was a mess!

Saturday morning, decision time. We ventured to the town of Salisbury,the start of the ride. Once again, it was raining and windy, even though the gale force winds had been downgraded to 30 - 35 mph. IMO the weather was just plain miserable! I really wanted to complete a century this year, but I also wanted to enjoy completing the century. My groups' consenses was not to ride in the the Seagull Century this year.

The next day, Sunday, we rode our bikes 31 miles north on the Coastal Highway and Route One from Ocean City toward Rehobeth beach. It was still a bit windy, but a very enjoyable ride. Despite the weather and not riding in the Seagull Century, we did enjoy our time at Ocean City.

I feel disappointed. I know LLB, Regina, Juju, Mickchick, Megandmac, and latelatebloomer were also plalnning on riding in this event. Did you ride in the Seagull Century on Saturday? How was it?

Thanks for listenening.
